Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1040: The Time Has Come

Ever since Bai Qingyan learned of the Tianfeng Kingdom, she had harbored a sense of caution towards it...

This Tianfeng Kingdom, capable of forging invincible weapons, had remained content within its borders for years. While this might be seen as the monarch being content with the status quo, now it is known that Tianfeng has an Elephant Army, and preparations for this army have long been underway. With both the Yan and the Zhou coveting Xiliang, why send the Elephant Army to Xiliang?

Could it be that they are willing to pay such a great price for the little advantage Xiliang can offer, just to fight on Xiliang’s behalf? Is the monarch of Tianfeng a saint... could every court official be a saint?

Bai Qingyan asked Yue Shi to deliver the news to Xiao Rongyan, to allow Xiao Rongyan to prepare in advance. Perhaps she was being overly anxious; with Xiao Rongyan’s intelligence network, he might have already received the news.

"Go now!" Bai Qingyan instructed Yue Shi, "Send the message back as soon as possible, for fear that if it’s delayed, the Elephant Army of Tianfeng will already be on the move!"

"Yes!" Yue Shi clasped his fists and withdrew from the great hall, hastily departing to deliver the message to Yan.

After Yue Shi left, Bai Qingyan called, "Someone come!"

Wei Zhong entered upon hearing the voice: "Your Majesty..."

Bai Qingyan cast her eyes down, unfurled a sheet of parchment paper, and dipped a brush in ink: "Have Lu Ping come quickly!"

"Yes!" Seeing Bai Qingyan’s calm demeanor, Wei Zhong immediately dispatched someone to promptly summon Lu Ping.

Bai Qingyan sat behind the desk, pondering briefly, and after penning the last few words on the parchment and sealing it in a message tube, Lu Ping arrived, panting. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Uncle Ping..." Bai Qingyan stood, circled the desk, and handed the message tube to Lu Ping, "Uncle Ping, I trust no one else. Take Bai family members, and head swiftly to Rong to find A Yu, tell A Yu... it’s time to come home!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’s eyes suddenly welled up, and he grasped the message tube tightly: "Yes! I will take people to find the fifth young master! My lady is currently with child; please take care, and make sure Wei Zhong accompanies you when going out!"

Wei Zhong’s martial prowess was inscrutable, and Lu Ping could only be at ease with Wei Zhong protecting Bai Qingyan.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." Bai Qingyan said.

Watching Lu Ping leave in quick strides, Bai Qingyan’s fists tightened by her side. The situation had changed, and the previous strategies for Xiliang could no longer be used. Xiliang and Tianfeng needed to know that Rong was now territory of the Zhou Kingdom, and if Tianfeng and Xiliang wanted to move against the most powerful Zhou, they would have to weigh their actions carefully.

Afterward, Bai Qingyan discreetly left the palace with light attire, taking a carriage to the military camp to inspect the giant beasts there.

Commandant Lu, Minister Shen Jingzhong, Minister Dong Qingping, Minister of War Zhang Duanning, and Minister of Revenue Wei Bugong appeared one after another outside Dadu City gates. After exchanging greetings, they inquired... all clueless, aware only that the Empress had summoned them to the military camp, yet unaware of the purpose.
